Rabbit mandibles were fractured using standardized methods and left to heal for 3, 7, 14, 21 and 24 d, respectively. The avidin-biotin complex (ABC) method demonstrated an accumulation of positively stained primitive mesenchymal cells at the fracture site in the hematoma stage of bone repair. These cells appeared to undergo differentiation into positively-stained chondroblasts and osteoblasts during the phase of callus formation. Undifferentiated mesenchymal cells showed a high positive reactivity in the early post-fracture stages but a much lower reactivity during the remodelling phase.The results of our study suggest that bone inductive processes are accompanied by the presence of BMP in osteoprogenitor cells during fracture healing of the mandible and that BMP may play a significant role in osteogenesis during bone healing.展开更多

In order to evaluate the activity of osteoclasts, the number and surface areas of lacunae were measured by photomicrography and image analysis, and the calcium concentration in the supernatant was measured by the atomic absorption spectrometry. The lacunae morphology was observed under a scanning electron microscope. The results indicated that La3+, Sm3+ and Er3+ at the concentration of 1.00?0-5, 1.00?0-6 and 1.00?10-7mol/L and Nd3+, Gd3+ and Dy3+ at the concentration of 1.00?10-5 and 1.00?0-6 mol/L inhibited osteoclastic activity as indicated by the dose-dependent reduction in the numbers and surface areas of the lacunae (P<0.01). On the contrary, the number and surface areas of lanunae were increased and osteoclastic bone resorbing function was significantly enhanced by La3+, Sm3+ and Er3+ at the concentration of 1.00?0-8 mol/L and Nd3+, Gd3+ and Dy3+ at the concentration of 1.00?0-7 mol/L (P<0.01). Nd3+, Gd3+ and Dy3+ had no effect on osteoclastic bone resorption function at concentrations as low as 1.00?0-8 mol/L (P>0.05). It is suggested that the effects of rare earth ions on osteoclastic bone resorption are bidirectional, depending on concentrations and species.展开更多

The results showed that the synoviocytes degenerated or disappeared in TMJDS. The cytoplasm contained numerous fibrils, while the organelles di minished in number. The surface of the synovial membrane was covered with a fibrinoid material. The surface of the synovial membrane was covered with a fibrinoid material. The authors consider that these pathological changes reduce or eliminate the normal functions of the synovial membrane, which may-lead to damage to the articular cartilage. The articular adhesion found sometimes in TMJDS may be related to the changes in the synovial membrane.展开更多
